Every year the Collegium Marianum of Prague organises the Summer Festivities of Early Music. It is the leading early music festival held in the capital of the Czech Republic and is internationally acclaimed for the quality of its programme and the high standard required of the participants. The 2017 edition of the Summer Festivities of Early Music focused on music at the palace of Versailles, the King of France’s residence.
In collaboration with Acción Cultural Española (AC/E) through the latter’s programme for the internationalisation of Spanish culture, the group headed by Enrique Solinis, Euskal Barroquensemble, performed ‘Dantza’, a piece which shows the influence of Basque dances in court music and dance during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. King Louis XIV, a music and dance enthusiast, employed a group of Basque musicians and dancers at his court and admired their characteristic style.
